WEEK-END PROBLEMS

By Hubert Phillips

PROBLEM I.

THE SPORTS -

At our village sports, there were four finalists in each of our five Aat races. And in each case one of the four was one of the Squire's five sons. The Saub

Squire, keen bet- ting man, was asked what odds he would offer that at least one of his boys won a race. He replied: "Well, I know nothing about form in any of

of the races. But I'll offer four to one on."

Assuming that in each' race all competitors have an equal chance of winning.

Is this a generous offer?

PROBLEM IL

BRIDGE—AT MR.

NORTH'S

Mr. North gave a Bridge party. He Invited his friends, Messrs. East, South and West. The table was so placed that the players sat respectively North, East, South and West. The players cut for partners and sents each rubber. Nine rubbers were played, and at the end of the evening the follow- ing facts were

noted:

(1) In no rubber had any player occupied a sent corresponding to his name. (2) The seating of the four players at the table had in no two rubbers been the same. (3) Mr. West had won every rubber.

How many rubbers did Mr. North win?.

PROBLEM III.

A WORD SQUARE

1. These tales end in air. 2. Hard but brilliant.

3. What any chasm did.

4. Film-stur's come-back. 6. A mere plant.

You didn't send in quite so many entries for last week's Compétition, in which you were required to cut out illustrations from any part of last Satur day's "Telegraph", and paste them on paper and card- board so as to make a complete picture. Some of you merely cut out one picture, instead. of combining several. Ilowever, some good efforts were sent in, and after going through these very carefully and allowing for age and originality of iden, I find that the best Senior entry was that of Tony Green (aged 12), 1 Peak Road, who sent in a particularly clever plece of work, which is reproduced elsewhere on this page,

Some of the Juniors also sent in excellent efforts, the best of which was that of Violetta dos Remedios (aged 7), 21 Jordan Road, Kowloon. This was a scene in which "Salesman Sam," a housewife and a G.E.C. refrigerator figured.

Will the winners call at the "Telegraph" office for their "prizes 7

Specially commended for good work are Carrie Alves, Maisie Law, Claudie Gorla, Fernando Alves and Henry Lau among the Seniors; and Nova Green, Alfred Lau and Tom Lau among the Juniors.

Now, children, as you are so fond of Painting Competitions, I'm giving you another this week. When you have coloured this bowl of tulips with your paints or crayons, cut out the picturo, and paste smoothly on paper or cardboard, adding your name, address and age. Tako special paints to get the coloura right

There will again be two prizen-one for children from 10 to 14, and the other for those under 10, Ad- dress your entries to: Uncle Eddie, c/o "Hongkong. Telegraph," so as to reach him not later than 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Now, kiddies, make a good effort this time.
